Literally everyone in my family thinks it was Muslims. I want to give up, people lack any fucking critical thinking skills :( I'm scared of saying anything because my mother is good friends with an Zionist who never even lived a long time in ISSrael... I'm afraid they'd say I'm anti-Jewish because of disagreeing with them.

    Yes, because they want to believe it. It confirms their prejudices about muslims and aligns with the goals of western politicians/media (as in wanting to see palestinians and all muslims eradicated). After this i am fairly sure about this. Like, this would be a non-story if one of the participants weren't the supporters of an Israeli team. Like its a monthly, if not weekly occurrence in Europe that fans of a football team go fuck shit up in another city and then get hunted down. It was known that Maccabi fans fucked shit up on wednesday. Like, the information was available. Yet, western politicians and media CHOSE to ignore it and go with the "pogrom" line. This is absolutely, 100% deliberate.
